Pool Inspection in
Empire Pools provides professional pool inspection for pool owners — a detailed, on-site evaluation designed to give you a clear,
no-guesswork picture of your pool’s condition and what (if anything) needs attention. We start with a quick intake on what you’ve noticed (water loss, noisy
equipment, weak suction/returns, cloudy water, stains, or recurring issues), then perform a structured walk-through: (1) a visual check of the pool shell/surface,
waterline, coping, fittings/returns, skimmer throat, and any visible cracking or movement; (2) an equipment-pad inspection of the pump, filter, valves, unions,
gauges, heater/salt system (if present), and visible plumbing for leaks, corrosion, vibration, and wear; (3) basic circulation red-flag checks (air in the system,
flow performance, and obvious suction/return issues); and (4) safety/condition notes that matter for owners and buyers alike (cover/anchor stress points when applicable,
trip hazards, and visible electrical connection concerns). We document what we see, call out risk items early, and finish with a clean, prioritized action list so you
know what to handle now vs. what can wait — and how to prevent small issues from turning into expensive surprises.

Inspections Tuned to Lynbrook Pools
In , tighter backyard layouts, fencing/landscaping around the equipment pad, and mixed shade patterns can make small leaks
and circulation restrictions easy to miss until they snowball. We focus on suction-side air indicators, pad connections, valve orientation, and early seepage that shows up
as “a little water loss” over time — plus circulation red flags that often appear after heavy debris, storms, or leaf drop.
From homes near Sunrise Highway and Merrick Road to routes along Peninsula Boulevard, Atlantic Avenue,
Hempstead Avenue, and Ocean Avenue — plus nearby landmarks like Lynbrook LIRR Station, Greis Park,
Valley Stream State Park, and Malverne Village Green — we tailor the inspection to your pool’s surface type, age, yard conditions, and equipment layout.
We check for common “quiet problems” like slow pad leaks, worn pump lid o-rings, loose unions, early corrosion at fittings, and circulation restrictions — not just what’s obvious at a glance.
What’s Included with Pool Inspection
- Visual inspection of pool structure, coping, waterline tile, fittings, and returns for cracks, movement, or wear.
- Equipment pad inspection: pump, filter, heater (if present), valves, unions, gauges, and visible plumbing for leaks or corrosion.
- Circulation check: suction/return performance, air in the system, and basic operational red flags.
- Cover and winter protection review (when applicable): strap tension, anchors, water level risk, and visible stress points.
- Skimmer and basket condition check, plus debris pathways that commonly show up after wind and rain events.
- Water condition snapshot (visual) with recommendations if chemistry or clarity suggests a bigger issue.
- Clear written notes or text summary after service with priorities, recommended fixes, and next steps.
- Optional add-ons: pressure testing, leak detection, equipment upgrade recommendations, or scheduling a follow-up visit.
- Note: Repairs, parts, or advanced testing are separate services quoted individually.

Pool Inspection — FAQs
When is the best time to schedule a pool inspection in Lynbrook?
The most common times are before buying a home, when you notice water loss, after major wind/rain, or when equipment behavior changes
(air bubbles at returns, louder pump, weak suction). Early spring is also a smart time to establish a baseline before the season ramps up.
What should I do before you arrive for a Lynbrook pool inspection?
Clear a path to the equipment pad and make sure gates are accessible. If you’ve noticed issues, jot down when they happen (time of day, after backwashing,
after rain/wind, etc.). If you have photos of the pad or any visible leaks, those help speed up diagnosis.
What exactly does your pool inspection cover in Lynbrook?
We check visible pool structure/surface and the waterline area, then focus on the equipment pad: pump, filter, valves, unions, gauges, heater and/or salt
system (if present), plus visible plumbing for leaks, corrosion, vibration, and wear. We also flag circulation red flags like suction-side air or restricted flow.
Can a pool inspection tell me for sure if I have a leak?
We can identify strong indicators (active drips, pad seepage, consistent loss patterns, and circulation clues), but pressure testing and advanced leak detection
are separate services. If leak indicators are present, we’ll explain the best next step and price it clearly.
How much does a pool inspection cost in Lynbrook?
Pool Inspection typically starts at $385 + tax for a detailed on-site evaluation and recommendations. Repairs, parts, or advanced testing are quoted separately.
